Anton Khudobin

Someone on HF mentioned at one point that Khudobin is a UFA this offseason. I could easily see Hedberg retiring after the season he's had. Yes Khudobin just gave up 4 goals to us but in reality I don't think any of them were bad goals. He's got good stats overall and I like his style of play. I think he'd be a good option to backup Marty and maybe eventually platoon.

Well the way I figure either Marty has another regular and playoff season in him or he doesn't. If he does, then Khudobin can play as a backup for the whole season. If it's clear he doesn't then they platoon them. If Khudobin does well he could be the future.

He can say he feels good all he wants but I don't think in an 82 game season with even more age and wear on Marty that we want to wind up with him playing the backup role. Maybe it doesn't have to be Khudobin but we're going to have to find someone to take on that role who can potentially last beyond next year.

Yeah I'm not convinced Lou's buying out Moose. Especially after he took our multi-year offer over other multi-year offers to relocate his family. Besides, I can't believe they'd buy him out when they wouldn't even sit him one game.

The New Jersey Devils win Stanley Cups everywhere:-NHL record for most road wins in the playoffs - 10-1 in '95 and 10-2 in '00-NHL record for most home wins in the playoffs - 12-1 in '03

My question is do you think Moose has any legitimate offers if he were UFA this offseason. I think at this point his career is pretty well over. The extra year he might be willing to forgo if Lou offered him a job as a scout or something of that variety.

Not sure he is the answer, but his quickness and athleticism are impressive. Still i'd be concerned about his size and vulnerability up high. He's only 5'10

^7^ is just defending his sport sheeps.. as Alcibiades the exiled Athenian rationalizes in his speech to the enemy Spartans, he wants to take revenge on Athens because he loves it and can't stand to see the state it's in now - Triumph

Lou will let him play his final year out with dignity. But. If that's the case, unless lou after trades for a young developed goalie lou kinda would have to resign Marty for another year to back up our kid to help develop and train them. That's what I seem most apt honestly.
